Water levels in Nepal’s Bhotekoshi and Trishuli rivers remain below the alert mark, but authorities are advising residents to stay cautious after flooding in the Bhotekoshi on Aug. 26.
The Flood Forecasting Division of the Centre of Hydrology and Water Resources Research said the Bhotekoshi’s flow is currently low. Its latest bulletin nevertheless forecast a medium risk of flash floods in several districts because flows in smaller rivers could rise significantly.
The medium-risk areas include districts across eastern, central and western Nepal, including Taplejung, Kathmandu, Gorkha, Dolpa, Kailali and Kanchanpur. The bulletin placed Nuwakot and Rasuwa at high risk of sudden flooding.
